Everyone
has bad mornings. You wake up late, you stub your toe, you
burn the toast...but for a man named Arthur Dent, this goes
far beyond a bad day. When he learns that a friend of his
is actually an alien with advanced knowledge of Earth's impending
destruction, he is transported off the Earth seconds before
it is exploded to make way for a new hyperspace motorway.
And as if that's not enough, throw in being wanted by the
police, Earth II, an insane electronic encyclopedia, no tea
whatsoever, a chronically depressed robot and the search for
the meaning of life and you've got the greatest adventure
off Earth.
